I'm not sure why you are asking for advice in a public forum when you seem to have already made up your mind. Are you just looking for people who will agree with you? I do not! As I said earlier, I would take your wife's advice, and wait.
In the title of this post, you asked: "What's the worst that could happen?"
My answer: You could lose everything, including your wife and your health.
Good luck!
